Painting x Midjourney
If a machine learns from my paintings, does it strip me of my humanity?
Émile Durkheim used the word anomie to describe the feeling of being completely unanchored when society changes too fast for our souls to keep up. By feeding my own oil paintings into Midjourney, I am stepping directly into that chaos. The neon explosion around my head is the static of a hyper-accelerated collective consciousness. It is the overwhelming, beautiful, and terrifying friction of trying to remain human when the rules of existence are being rewritten overnight.
